RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL: MEDITATION: CONSCIOUS CONTACT WITH GOD Dear Chaverem: Marco's question (below) about how we meditate and hear God is an important one. It is frankly what Jewish Spiritual Renewal brings us to. It is part of developing a personal relationship with Ha Shem. It is a question which I was planning to delve into much later in the class. But let me touch on some salient points today. As Jews we are a 'listening' people. The watch words of our faith are in the Shema, "Hear, O' Israel". When we all stood at Mt. Sinai listening to the Ten Utterances (Commandments) , we said ,"We will do, and we will listen." (na'aseh ve-ni'shema - Exodus 24:7) But we have forgotten how to liste

Sustainable architecture or building is only a small part of a greater whole. It has been said many times that “sustainability” is a good short term goal. Sustainability is only equilibrium, a tipping point where we no longer are damaging the planet that we inhabit with the effects of our daily lives - manufacturing, power production, construction, transportation, agriculture and every aspect of our lives that affects our global ecosystem. Author Paul Hawken states, “Today, our continuing progress is restricted not by the number of fishing boats but by the decreasing numbers of fish; not by the power of pumps but by the depletion of aquifers; not by the number of chainsaws but by the disappearance of primary forests.” Sustainability by definition is actually the point where we ceas
Recently, Ranbir Kapoor visited Bangkok for a photo session with a film magazine and while there he landed up on the sets of Chandni Chowk To China where girlfriend Deepika Padukone is shooting with Akshay Kumar. Our khabroo who was present on the sets informs us, "Ranbir dropped in to meet Deepika on the sets of the film, during his stay in Bangkok. Deepika and Akshay were shooting an intimate scene when Ranbir landed up on the sets. Not just that, he sat in front of the monitor observing the scene closely as the two enacted the scenes." While Deepika blushed and was obviously conscious of Ranbir’s presence, Ranbir seemed to quite enjoy it all, and was cool. Our source informs, "It was quite obvious that Deepika just couldn’t get her act right because she was extremely conscious of Ra

It looks like the business world is finally waking up to the opportunity that lies in green and chemical conscious parents.

Check it out here. This is all well and good, but what about the folks who can't shell out the extra bucks for an organic mattress without flame retardants, or the sippy cups and bottles without BPA, or the wood toys made without lead made in the USA? Why should their children be exposed to more chemicals simply because of their parents' financial situation?

At worst, we face a day of conscious spiritual practice.-- Geri LarkinIt's evident from the list of wisdom quotes on my website that I value any advice that helps people get through and make sense of hard times and grow into more complete human beings. As a homegrown example, 12-step groups are rich sources of practical guidance for developing emotional resilience, such as:"Take one day at a time""Do the next right thing""Keep an attitude of gratitude""Pray for the son of a bitch""Easy does it"When things are going well, most of us don't feel a need for such advice. But while some days are easy to get through, others are much more challenging. At such times we can either bounce from one hardship and disappointment to another or find opportunities to consciously act in ways that are helpful to our personal (i.e. spiritual) growth.That's what makes Larkin's quote so encouraging. What seems like a "bad" day is a great deal worse in the absence of some meaningful guidelines for liv

During the Holiday season, many of us will receive more gifts than we deserve, and few that we actually need. As you're opening your presents, it's important to remember that millions of elderly, homeless, abandoned or oprhaned people throughout the world will not receive material gifts or fellowship this Holiday. Instead, the joy they see around them will only serve as an unpleasant reminder of the fact that they're alone.

from PSFK by Orli SharabyInterwoven Threads is a new company hoping to create a brand new business model for fashion. Started in Kansas City by Andy Woolard, the company sells nicely designed organic cotton t-shirts for $25 a pop, and for every shirt that’s purchased, a duplicate is donated to reStart, a Kansas City-based homeless-advocacy organization. At the moment there are only three styles to choose from, all in shades of brown and aqua, all emblazoned with whimsical, artsy scrawl. As straightforward and breezy is their selection of t-shirts, so their philosophy is simple and honorable: Interwoven Threads is a positive alternative to the way people traditionally buy products. Currently, Interwoven Threads is working to put quality shirts on the backs of people who truly need to be clothed. Interwoven Threads

An Australian man has a lot to smile about today. He is now spared near certain death due to successful brain surgery to remove an aneurysm. He also can tote that he is the first person ever to be fully conscious during the entire thing.72 year old John James wasn't scared about the repercussions of the tactic. "I wasn't worried whatsoever.... I was quite confident all the way through." The surgeons chose to keep James awake because the aneurysm was places behind his right eye, and they showed him flashcards throughout the operation to see if his vision was being affected.Before and during the surgery, the doctors were able to use 3-d imaging to get a clear and present picture of James' brain. Doctor Vini Khurana had a specialized kind of eyepiece; one side displayed the 3-d brain, and the other side contained a microscopic view of James' brain."The technology we used was quite extraordinary," Khurana said. "It's like GPS navigation that you use in the car being injected into your
From a young age I have been a plus size and at times I have been extremely unhappy with my body, blaming it for failings in other areas of my life.All of my friends were thin and seemingly happy. It was not until recently I realised that many of them were much more unhappy with their lot than I. A few members of my extended group of girl friends have now opted for surgery, a fourth, one of my best friends has real issues with the size of her breasts and there is no doubt that at some point she will follow suit. Are they happier? Maybe, maybe not - the reasons behind their feelings of inadequacy are there's to come to terms with but it goes to show that insecurities, justified or not, are part of everyone's lives, regardless of how good they actually look.Now I know this happens daily throughout the world, but for me it was a huge eye opener. To see women that I have compared myself to over the years, and mostly found myself lacking, are so conscious of their flaws that they are will

Celina is very conscious of her image and makes sure that she has her make up on even when she is working out.
Actress Celina Jaitley loves cosmetics. So much so, that she makes sure that even when she’s working out at her gym, her make up is in place.
For Celina, it’s a matter of habit but the other ladies there, we hear, simply stare at actress’ strange habit. Reveals a source, “Like all others, Celina is usually clad in a singlet and shorts while exercising at the gym, but it’s her grease paint that draws attention.” Her thick make up has set tongues wagging in the gym.
Celina is very conscious of her image. Even while leaving the gym, she makes sure to retouches her make up.

88- When you look at the mountains, you think that they are standing still. But they are moving like clouds. Such is the artistry of God, who disposes of all things in perfect order. He is indeed fully aware of what you do. 27-The Ant, 88 The mountains’ features seem to make them the most stationary components of the earth’s surface. The idea of the unattainability of mountains led certain primitive mentalities to believe in polytheism and fancy that the mountains were the abode of divinities. The idea of mountain peaks being beyond man’s reach was an illusion, as was also their stationary aspect. The verse refers to this illusion and speaks of the motion of mountains like clouds. If the mountains that had a stationary aspect did move, it would follow that the earth itself also moved. The verse thus dismisses the idea of a fixed world entertained as a consequence of false perception, and informed the public of the time of the movement of mountains, likening them to clouds.This si

By Alastair Hamilton Mountain bike shoes come in a variety of prices, from the inexpensive $70 range, up to over $400. The amount of money you pay depends entirely on whether or not you are a casual, once-a-month rider, a serious hobbyist, or someone who competes in races - either amateur or professional.What is it about mountain bike shoes that make them a) important to have and b) so expensive?Shoes designed specifically for cycling have stiff soles, which helps the cyclist in transferring the power from his legs and feet to the pedals and thence to the chain for greater speed. Since the road cyclist is expected to be on his or her bike at all times without having to do a great deal of walking, they normally have a protruding cleat which slots into the recess on their pedals.A protruding cleat would be of no use to the mountain biker, who quite frequently has to get off the bike and wheel or carry it around obstacles. So mountain bike shoes have recessed cleats, that won't interfere

We can be born consciously, we can make love consciously, and we can die consciously. All these three are dependent upon one thing: breath.We can help in the overall plan of God by learning to breathe consciously every moment of our lives. Once we learn to control the breath, we may find the rhythm of the Mother, the Creative Feminine, from whom we came and through whom we return to the Source of all life. When we have knowledge of the love between the Mother and the Father of all creation, conscious suffering becomes an act of joy.It’s easy to talk about living consciously, but the question remains: Can we totally commit ourselves to a life of service? Until that commitment is made, we can only talk about what may lie beyond. We have to make the first step, and then the other steps are given, to the extent that we have the courage to face each moment and are completely honest. Honesty is the prerequisite of anyone wishing to understand the nature of the way of love.The understanding
News from Pocketlint.com have announced that from the first quarter of 2008, Sony Ericsson will be the world’s 4th largest mobile phone firm and their future strategy to maintain their position and drive it forward is to launch a range of affordable phones to challenge the leader Nokia.
It would seem that in March Sony Ericsson signed a deal with budget handset company Sagem who will produce Sony Ericsson’s new range of entry level mobile phones. The price for these new handsets is set to be only around £30 which is great for those people who just want a phone rather than the latest trend in phones (I’m afraid to say that I definitely fit into the latter!).

Imagine yourself in your favourite place. Just pick one. Can you actually see and feel it, from the smells and light, right down to the smallest detail. That sort of visualization is a very powerful thing that focuses your thoughts very carefully. It’s like an exercise, but it is also a very profound way of predisposing yourself to actually looking for the opportunities for these things to happen.
It increases your desire for the things you want in a constructive and creative way. Instead of just setting a goal for earning the money to buy things, sometimes we find there’s an even better way if you’re just looking for it. It’s training yourself to really look that’s the problem for many people. They’re simply looking at the wrong things.
Just look around you right now. Is there anything in the room you don’t normally notice or might have even been surprised were there with you? If you go outside and close your eyes, would you be able to see that room? The ability to see w
By Anne Aleyes"Life," said John Lennon, "is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." He should know. The claims of New Age gurus aside, you can't avoid life's potholes and pitfalls. Surprises are part of the game. Some are wonderful. Some are fun. Some are funny. Some start out bad and turn out ok. And some, as with John himself, are tragic and not at all our conscious choice. But lives have an everyday rhythm, too -- a predictability that invites planning and design. Lives steered with even modest direction are usually more fruitful and satisfying than ones steered just by serendipity and the winds of chance.Sure, we want life to be profitable and interesting, and in fact not many people would choose a life completely free of problems. But a life as free as possible from useless obstacles, brick-wall frustrations, exhausting time-wasters, and other energy-sappers ... yes, that's something to work on -- so you can concentrate on "the big stuff" ... the meaningful

The US Supreme Court [JURIST news archive] handed down decisions in the last three cases of its 2006 Term Thursday, including the consolidated cases of Meredith v. Jefferson County Board of Education [Duke Law case backgrounder; JURIST report] and Parents Involved v. Seattle School District [Duke Law case backgrounder], where the Court struck down public school consideration of race when assigning students to public schools.In the Seattle case, parents sought an injunction against the school district's policy of assigning students to schools based partly on race, so that the racial makeup of each school roughly mirrors that of the district, arguing that the consideration of race violated the equal protection guarantee of the 14th Amendment [text]. The district court upheld the policy. A panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed, applying the strict scrutiny standard of the 2003 University of Michigan affirmative action cases [JURIST online symposium] and finding

Are you a Starbucks frequenter? Or do you always go gaga over gourmet coffee?
I don’t go to Starbucks every so often because it’s too costly and I got accustomed to relishing my Mom’s home-made coffee. Ok, actually, it’s just instant coffee that she concocts with a secret proportion of sugar and coffee especially for me.
And I can gulp coffee like there’s no tomorrow everyday especially during crunch time with my home based gigs. However, on average, I drink three cups of coffee everyday. This I’m sure has contributed to my gaining of extra weight every now and then, most particularly during cramming days when I’m left with nothing but computer work and not much bodily activity that would allow me to sweat out.
So yeah, if you’d ask if coffee has anything to do with one’s gaining weight, YES! The sugar on coffee is the very reason behind why coffee can make you fat according to experts.
